Continuing my series of looking at the NHIAA’s top prospects, next up is the class of 2011.

When you walk into St. Thomas More head coach Jere Quinn’s office you see walls covered with pictures of past players in their college uniforms. Truth be told, Coach Quinn ran out of wall space a long time ago and now stores his pictures in a series of books. The moral of the story is that there is a distinct link between the present and the past at St. Thomas More, and that linkage is particularly strong this year. Three… READ MORE >
